Measle and the Wrathmonk
Quote: "Well,never mind-my personal hairdresser will know what to do it."
Answer: I think Lady Grant the lady that was talking is too full of herself just because she has money she thinks she has everything. She shouldn't be like that because people like that dont have much fun because they dont have to many friends. What im trying to say is that just because you have money doesn't mean you have everything else in the world.

Asoka’s Rules and Edicts
Asoka was one of the most famous rulers of India. He spread the empire all the way to the south of India. There are more things about king Asoka like his rules and his edicts. But first, we go back in time where the Mauryas unify India.
Well before king Asoka got the throne. The Mauryas were to thank because they were the ones who unified India. Before India got unified there was a lot of little kingdoms. Chandragupta was the first ruler of India, then Asoka, Chandragupta’s grandson over powered him.
Asoka’s rule changed when he realized that, that wasn’t what he wanted for his empire. He fought bloody wars with the rulers of the little kingdoms so he could get them all. He ruled the biggest empire ever. When he fought all those wars he stopped and regret what he did. Then he became a Buddhist. He told his people to become Buddhists to. After Asoka died, India became a place of war and peace.
Asoka’s edicts were his royal inscriptions. His edicts were inscripted on pillars , etc. His edicts were mostly Indian literature. Basically, Asoka’s edicts were just a bunch of writing he did on pillars and stuff.
In conclusion Asoka was the most famous ruler in Indian History. Before he was able to be the most famous ruler, the ones that helped him were the Mauryas because they unified India. It was a very smart thing he did to become Buddhist. His edicts are now famous. That’s pretty much all I have to say.
